Window Panes

life is full of window panes.
it shows you things lost-and things gained.
it is a camera that takes pictures-of all that you do in this life.
if you're a husband or a wife.
it will show how you have treated others.
and if you did it for 'spite or gain'.
life goes on just the same.
it does not matter what you do-for these pictures follow you.
and when it is time to leave this earth.
the window will show everything from birth.
so think of what you do in life my friend
it could be a bitter end.

Empty Sea Shells*************9/8/79

i asked the LORD up above
to protect the woman that i love.
but as he would have it be
he took that woman away from me.

he left me feeling empty and shallow
as a sea shell upon a shore.
with the hopes of 'being once more'.

and as the tide came up on the beach.
there my love was within my reach.
the sand pulling out from under me
as i longed to be set free.

i rolled myself upon my back
never giving up hope
never giving up slack.

i finally reached that watery shore
to return to my love forever more.

Ship Of Love Valentine

The ship of love where hearts sail free
The ship of love is where you want to be.
It will take you on a valentine cruise
Where no heart will ever lose.

The ship will dock at all ports of love
Where cupids will come from up above.
They'll shoot their arrows at all who arrive
And you will find your love divine.

The ports of love are every where
On land, sea and in the air.
The ship of love is world wide bound
And you will find it all around.

So take this trip along with me
And your heart will be so free.

You Inspire

(09/07/11)

It was the dawn of a new day
The bright orange sun was shining my way.
The sky was a beautiful light blue
The only thing missing “ was you”.

My day cannot begin if you’re not there
That beautiful smile with me you share.
So many things in my life that you inspire
And made me set my goals even higher.

You told me that there is nothing in life
That I can’t do- set your goals and follow thru.

Because of you all my goals except for one
Has been met.
Winning your heart I still must get.

Jesus Inspires

JESUS inspires me in all that i do
JESUS inspires me and makes my dreams come true.
I felt lost and empty like a sea shell
my heart didn't know where to dwell.

the emptiness was tearing me apart
so I searched till I found my heart.
then I started to search for my soul
I knew 'that' would make me whole.

once I had found the two
then I knew just what to do.
joining them together I was now complete.
I felt the joy and began to weep.

he was there every step of the way
and all I had to do was search and pray.

Dejavu

when you see a face or place in your mind
and it takes you back in time.
when you feel that you've been there with
someone with whom to share
the joys and sorrows of yesteryear.

for those few seconds when life stood still
and you seemed to be climbing a hill.
just to see whats on the other side.
and what it could possibly be
that something that's attracting me.

in those few seconds you find a life gone by.
but you can't remember-no matter how you try.
then you think its just dejavu.
but! is it really true?

The Climber -MAREA JOHNSON

i ran across a poet who has a style just like me.
her first five poems that you read
will show you what i mean.

she has a talent which will touch everyones
mind and soul.
she is the one, that in my dreams i was told.

she has a unique talent, and a flair all her own
she puts words together that will touch the coldest soul.
she will write stories that will be beyond compare
that is when- her poems she will share.

keep your eyes open and listen to what
she has to say.
for her poetry will definitly blow you away.

Amazing Grace

amazing grace as the song implies
has been with us for a long, long, time
taking the soul of one who has been lost
and relieved of all their fears
is something that i cheer.

i found that this amazing grace
has put me in a better place.
with faith and love i could see
that beautiful song inside of me.

there is nothing that can compare
when you have lost all your fear.
that fear that we all have inside
fears that we have tried to hide.

amazing grace has come to me
amazing grace-i now can see.
all the love inside of me.

Saved

I was drowning and I didn’t know what to do
Then your love came and pulled me thru.
Your love gave me the will to survive
When I thought that I would die.

It feels like a knife piercing my soul
I know that it’s you I want to hold.
Tell me you love me, show me you care
I’ll move the earth just to be there.

Take my hand and lead me away
Show me you love me, this I pray.
Take me and lay me down in green pastures
Take my love- if that’s what you’re after.

Let our hearts beat as one
Until my life on earth is done.

Butterfly

butterfly

I stopped to look at a butterfly-then it flew away.
Yet! -left me with an impression.
With me it will always stay.

Its wings were a beautiful brown-with polka dots you see.

I had wanted to grab it-but I knew it had to be free.

They only have a short life span
But in their life -they live an eternity.

They have no worries or cares-but in their life they share
All the joys of yesteryear…

If man could be as a butterfly-and enjoy and share life.
we would not have to go through, all our struggles and strife.
